Hey guys, I know it's been a while. I lost inspiration in my other stories and I deleted them. So I wrote ahead on this one. Hope you like it.
Chapter 1: Words can Change Everything.
Running, so much running. It feels like I've been running from them for years. Even though it has only been a week since they came after me. It started when I got that letter.
Flashback
"All right y'all, mail call!" Cyborg called waving the letters in the air. "Most of it is fan mail, but you can be the judge of what you keep."
"Sorry Rae." Robin handed me a letter. "It got put in my box. It looks important, so you might want to open it."
"That's strange. The last time I got a letter like this," I ripped the envelope and opened the letter, "was in Azarath." My heart sank as I saw the words.
"What does it say, Friend Raven?" Starfire asked as she opened her letters.
"You have been called to an order on Azarath. You must fulfill your duties to the Azarathian people. As of today, you are," My eyes widened and I dropped the letter. "engaged." I whispered loud enough that the could hear.
Flashback over
Another tear dripped off of my face. Then, I heard a knock on the door. "Raven, can we talk?" Robin said through the door.
I wiped my tears and I used my powers to open and close the door behind him. "I don't understand why they would come for me now."
He sat next to me, "Will you come back?" The question that I never wanted to hear out of anyone's mouth, especially his.
A tear fell, and then another. Then, I grabbed him and held him to dear life, sobbing uncontrollably. "No." That one syllable word echoed in my ears. I would never be able to come back. No matter how much I would plead, the answer would always be no.
"Then, I'll fight to keep you." He rubbed my back as I calmed down.
I looked up and I saw something that no one has seen from Robin, a tear. "Please, don't cry. I need you to be strong for me. I will always be with you." I pointed to his head, "Here," and I placed my hand over his heart, "and here."
"They can't have you. You belong here. With us and with me." Robin held my hand on his chest. I put his other hand on my heart and I held it there. "I can't go on without you here."
"You have to." I moved closer to his face. He moved closer and our lips touched for the first time in days. It felt like I was free. I moved my hands to his hair, and he tightened his hold on me.
He pulled back, "Do you love me?" The question echoed through my mind.
I smiled, "More than you know, Wonder Boy." I kissed him again.
He pulled back, "Marry me then." I blinked. " You can't marry another person if you're married already, so why not? You love me and I love you, we need each other."
"I have never thought of that before, but what if it doesn't work? What if they still take me away?" I stared at the picture of us when things first started.
"It's like when we started the Titans, remember? We didn't know if it was going to work out, but look at us now, six years strong." He held my hands tightly.
"But Robin this is very different. We are talking about a crisis from a different universe. Azarathians may be kind and gentile, but if you get in their way, they will be ruthless. And marriage is a whole other issue." Raven grabbed four books off of her shelf. "These are all that must go on if you are going to marry me."
Robin's eyes widened, "Have you even read this?" He pointed to a line in on of the books. Raven muttered the words and her eyes widened at the last part of the sentence. "Raven, does this mean if I marry you, that we have to have sex."
"Yes, they say that it finalizes the marriage. I won't force you if you don't want to do that." Raven to told him what she knew.
"No, Raven. Don't ever say that. I would kill to be your husband. You are my best friend and if you will let me, your fiancée." Robin interrupted her and got down on one knee, "Raven, will you be my wife?"
She blushed, "I'd say no," Robin looked disappointed and she smiled, "but because it's you, yes, I will be your fiancée, Robin."
Did you like it? Hope you did. R&R for me please.
